COSI’S ODYSSEY
I’m Cosi, I’ve recently completed my masters in Classics at Cambridge University and I’m incredibly passionate about reimagining the ancient world for a modern audience.
Having spent over 5 years working in the field of classics and history outreach, I strive to make the field of classics more accessible and engaging by popularising archaeology, history and mythology.
As a presenter, writer, and historian, my goal is to share with you just how sexy, ridiculous and compelling ancient history really is.

The things I do
My love of all things ancient goes back as long as I can remember (yes, it started with Percy Jackson).
From the first time I was a part of an archaeological dig in Italy, cleaning broken pottery and pulling out artefacts from the ground with my own two hands, to seeing the Parthenon in person, all aspects of the ancient world continue to thrill and inspire me.
